I have a early 1a model Ikoflex.with a 3.5 Zeiss Tessar, I got mine for $40 all it needed was a very basic shutter clean ( a drop of lighter fluid in the slow speed gear set) it has a single coated lens that is super sharp from corner to corner. I showed a set of negs to fellow photographer and asked what he thought took the Photo's:-the suggestions, were my Rollei SL 66, a borrowed hasselblad, a Rolleiflex 2.8 or a Bronica.

The early Ikoflex are very reliable as long as the shutter works :- they use the "Red window film counter, there is not a lot to go wrong
